F@h effects system stability after long usage?

I've been running F@h for 12 hours on medium power and it was kinda effecting the system stability. I know it is normal when running, but even after i closed f@h it was making some unstability (for ex. doing things that i don't do, or doing something wrong). Then i closed the computer for 30 minutes or so. After i booted up again everything was pretty normal.
Is it normal to have stability issues like that after running f@h for so long?

My "superultragamingpc" setup:
Core i3 3220
GA-B75M-D3V
HD6570
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600Mhz

It shouldn't be affecting the stability that much, even after long runs, for example, I usually run for multiple days non-stop before I restart the PC without any hitches :/

Specs: CPU: AMD FX 6300 Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A DS3P RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB 1866MHz GPU: MSI R9 270 OC edition Case: Sharkoon VS3-S SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB HDD: 1TB Caviar Blue PSU: Corsair CX500W

Could you define these "instabilities" what happened exactly?

was it gitching out(is so, how?) was it sluggish/slow, are you

sure it wasn't just placeo?(by that i mean bias) did you have

a memory leak or something else perhaps?

 

my pc has been on for over a month by now folding 24/7, no

problems.

 

folding could potentially interfere with daily use, becoming

sluggy/slow. but that isn't necessarily caused by some instability.

By instabilites, it was glitching, slugging a bit and everything was slow like i was still folding.

By glitching i mean, when i tried to move something on taskbar to left, it just screws it up, opens something that i don't click, randomly places everything etc.

This didn't ever happened before/after that day.

Well, that is a strange anomaly and not common as far as i am aware.

whether it was caused by folding or something else, or something else

on collaboration with folding i don't know.

 

Are you sure you closed/stopped folding properly and your gpu/cpu usage

dropped accordingly?

 

it would be worth looking at if it happens again and keeps being a problem.

I've found it can cause some stability issues, but it's always fix with a restart. I'm not sure how much it has to do with actually folding. Hell, if I have a PC on windows running for a month or more without restart, it just needs to be restarted. Sometimes a week in some cases. 

Why not check your hard drive health in CDinfo if you are not on an ssd? Sounds stupid, but if it hangs up after a while of being on and gives really low read/write spends and long response times, those things can happen. 

Hell my OS drive in my desktop that I use for folding it starting to fail. Lots of reallocated sectors, ect ect.

It would be fine for a while on restart, then after a while of being on it would hang up a lot like that, and give 5 seconds plus response times. Pretty much the same symptoms. 

 

Whether or not it's the problem, it's worth checking for piece of mind and just in case. Seeing a failure coming and imaging the drive is a lot better than recovering from backups.
